MIT researchers used ultracold atoms to isolate the quantum trade-off between wave interference and particle path detection.

A rogue planet was found in Hubble data using Einstein’s microlensing; event lasted 8 hrs and no host star was detected.

A groundbreaking experiment demonstrates yet again that light exists both as a wave and a particle in the quantum world—but ...

The experiment showed that Bohr was definitely correct when he argued for complementarity, and that Einstein had got it wrong. The more atom-rustling that was measured, the weaker the diffraction ...

What is space-time? Depending on how fast you're moving or how close you are do Earth's gravity can change the way time feels ...

As we move into its 81st year, one wonders whether the long duration of the Nuclear Age that has avoided nuclear war has been ...

Einstein's theory posits that mass distorts space. This distortion can bend light from distant objects. Astronomers use this ...

In a striking display of quantum physics, a team of researchers has recreated one of science’s most legendary ...

Using the Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered a new rogue planet that was orphaned from its home planetary ...

Einstein and Bohr would have never thought that this is possible, to perform such an experiment with single atoms and single photons,” said Wolfgang Ketterle, head of the MIT group whose new ...

It’s the weirdest thing: quantum theory works incredibly well in practice. It powers devices ranging from MRI machines to lasers and the very computer you’re reading this on. But even after 100 years, ...

MIT physicists perform the most precise double-slit experiment using ultracold atoms, confirming Bohr’s quantum theory over ...
